1. Music. All music including folders will be left on the stands after the concert. You will get your folder back at the next rehearsal in two weeks. If you have personal music or school music in there, please leave it home. You will get it back, but not for two weeks!

2. Food. Don't forget your food assignment so we can pig out between the rehearsal and the concert (JK about pigging out).

Arrive before 11 am, help set up, begin rehearsing as soon as possible.

Rehearse until 1:30 pm

Go eat, dress up, and prepare for the concert.

3pm - concert.

You all received flyers on Saturday with food assignments, except we adjusted the food assignment slightly, so here is the REVISED (read photoshopped) flyer.

So, this one is Correct! If the image doesn't show in your email, here's what it says:

If you have questions about clothing, please contact me. Black socks/tights. No No-show socks! Black BOW TIE for boys; I only have one spare, so get one before Saturday. The Peach Tree in Brigham City is like a mini Quilted Bear. They have a tie booth. Inexpensive and (for some) convenient. (This isn't an endorsement; but my boys like it there!)

This is going to be a great weekend!

Also, please note: There is no rehearsal November 28, which is Thanksgiving weekend, but there are rehearsals in December on the 5th, 12th, and 19th (and there will also be a Christmas Party on the 19th after rehearsal, 11-12).

Interested in performing a solo or small ensemble number in our upcoming recital, January 30? Watch for the sign up sheet at the concert!
